Well, I may have missed some, but it seems like most of the comments I've read have come from the kid of one of those coaches that would be getting fired.
Yeah, Childress knows his Dad is about to lose his job and it upsets him.

I TOLD you I have INSIDE information on this. Manning will NOT be fired this year. The university cannot afford the buyout. So, prepare your anuses: Danny Manning will be the coach next year.
Why would we fire Manning before Selection Sunday? There’s still a shot we get an at-large bid.
I say we risk it.
This is literally a situation where we can’t afford NOT to fire Manning. Even the most diehard fans have been alienated at this stage and you’d saddle a new AD with an impossible situation. Good luck to Currie trying to raise money or get the fanbase excited with that shadow looming over him.
I’m still trying to square the apparent fact that last year’s team couldn’t wait to get away from Manning, but this year’s group loves him. It makes zero sense to me.
IMO the high buyout is real and they brought in Currie right now to find the money to get rid of him because the big donors do not trust Wellman. So I think rumors of the buyout being a problem are true and that the money may not be there to buy him out right now. If Currie does his thing, I think he'll find the money to deal with Manning and he'll be gone. I don't see why the timing of the AD announcement would have happened otherwise.Whatever the costs to pay off Manning pales in comparison to the real costs involved in keeping him. Go find the money and get on with it.
No matter how young his teams were Dave Odom never had a 20 loss season, let alone 3 of them.
Hopefully this is just Dave trying to avoid awkwardness next time he runs into Manning.
